This was precisely my experience with Com Pilot as well. The Audiology centre then changed my hearing aids so I could not use it any more anyway. I would steer well away from these products. It was me that recommended the Amazon speaker. I will be putting a reviews up on my blog in a few days. I agree that it is great.

I just got a ComPilot to connect my Phonak Nathos S+ Wireless hearing aid to my iPhone 7 Plus via Bluetooth. The results were very disappointing. The ComPilot made things more tinny and when I tried using BlindSquare, as soon as the GPS navigation app started speaking, the robotic ComPilot voice interrupted to announce “Bluetooth audio”! This obliterated tge first sentence of what BlindSquare was telling me. When BlindSquare stopped speaking, two seconds later ComPilot played tge “goodbye” beeps and stopped streaming. And when BlindSquare started speaking again, ComPilot obliterated that by announcing “Bluetooth audio” - and so it went on. I wrote to the manufacturer who sent me a form to print out to return it. I don’t know if all Phonak models react like this? A cautionary tale! Oh, by the way, the Amazon Basics waterproof and shockproof speaker someone on the list recommended is wonderful!

Hello, I also live in the UK and have NHS hearing aids 1 for each ear. I use Music-Link+ stereo silhouette earhooks available from www.connevans.co.uk for about £20. These hook over my behind the ear hearing aid to drive the inductive loop system in the hearing aid. They plug into the 3.5 mm audio jack socket on my iPhone 5S. I also use them with my iPod nano. I find the audio quality satisfactory and there are no delays as reported by others for bluetooth hearing aids. My hearing aids are set up to be independently adjustable for program and volume. Thus I can put both earhooks over one hearing aid to listen the iPhone while leaving the other hearing aid to listen to what is happening around me. At other times I can put each earhook over each hearing aid to fully enjoy music and drama in stereo. As they plug into the audio jack socket of my iPod Nano they connecting cable acts as an aerial for the FM radio in the iPod nano which I use a lot. Alas Apple has discontinued the iPod Nano so when mine no longer works I will miss FM radio. My iPhone is pay as you go so live radio will be expensive away from my wifi. It would be great if the iPhone included FM radio! Hope this helps…. Paul Hopewell -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
